Fixed-pad thrust bearing is fixed on the matrix. It can produce oil wedge and get dynamic pressure by very tiny deformation. In order to solve the heat dissipation problem which is caused by sliding friction, the whole friction is divided into several fixed pad in the circumferential direction. The fixed pad with this structure can form a whole with matrix. The material is ZYTCu-10.
